Scratch Plane Dodge

GAME

My game is on the simple side but it becomes very hard as you progress in the levels. The whole base of the game is that you have to fly your plane around the bats spinning in the air. When you reach the second level you have to dodge around 3 bats instead of 2. While there are only 2 levels the fist level gives you a idea on how to play but the second level you have to basically throw all your knowledge out the window because it just becomes chaos. If you can survive for 30 seconds in the second level you win. Even if you are good at dodging games before this one will take you to a whole new level.

My Final score is 4.936

Oregon Trail

The Oregon trail is an very enjoyable game considering the fact that it's an old game. The reason why I enjoy this game is that I grew up playing 8 bit games such as mario and mega man. this game has kept its somewhat popularity in the fact that it has multiple ways to play through and finish the game, if i had to remake the game I don't think that i could make a better version mainly because the concept is so old and so worn out, I don't think that a remake would do as well as the original.






















































































































Dis game be nice

The Oregon Trail is a phenomenal game for it's time (1971). It's about traveling the Oregon Trail with a party of up to 5 characters. Throughout the game you can look at historical landmarks, and cross the rivers, by Toughing it out and walking through it or by floating over it. The inventory system is alright, although sometimes it can be extremely stupid(2000 pounds of food+). Overall I would give this game a 7.5/Donuts, because I like this game as much as I like donuts.

I loved The Oregon Trail. I loved it because it was very simple and easy to play. I also loved it because you could run it and play within a minute. Another reason i loved it was because of how random it is.


This game has stayed relevant because it is completly random. No two play throughs will be the same, so it will take hundreds of playthroughs to see everything. That is why the replayabillity factor is so high with this game.

I would revamp this game by giving it more options to choose from.

THE OREGON TRAIL 
~A Story~

The Oregon Trail is a game that was originally developed in 1974 by Don Rawitsch, Bill Heinemann, and Paul Dillenberger. Through this game you in control of a wagon that goes through the trails and rough things people who actually travailed the Oregon trail had to deal with. Through this game you encounter many hardships, such as having to cross many rivers, losing supplies in fires, having some oxen injured, having trek members get bitten by snakes, or get fevers, or typhoids, and many more. This game puts you into a deep mindset while also having that classic 8-byte gaming style. If I could change anything I wouldn't want to, as I think this game is great just the way it is.

Oregon Trail

Oregon Trail is a terrible game that was made in 1971 and I would rate it a 2/10. I didn't like any part of the game i thought it was dumb. I don't think this game would be anything like it would be in real life. Yeah its a game but could be a little more realistic based on going on a adventure. the amount of food you could take with you was really unrealistic. The graphics were pretty bad.

Oregon Trail review


Oregon trail is a classic game released in 1971 that everyone has heard of. It is an educational game where the player must make it across the Oregon trail making few stops along the way to stock up on supplies, food, and ammo. Along the way the player must face difficulties such as dying of dysentery, hunting, breaking arms, and many other obstacles. In it's time it was incredibly popular and still has a large player-base from the many versions of the games on browsers and fan re-makes such as organ trail (A zombie remake of Oregon trail). The game is also the source of quite a few cult-references such as the "You have died of dysentery" meme.

Oregon Trail - super in depth summary of this game by epic_pants


       Oregon Trail is a game in 1971, and is a classic that should be rated 10/10 by IGN. It is a classic video game that was advanced for its time. I liked playing this game, the photo-realistic graphics made me feel as though I truly were in the wilderness fighting to survive the harshness of the environment. The randomness of the events in the game made the replay ability of the game much higher. There has already been a new game created recently called Organ Trail. In all honesty I do like this game, I like the old pixel graphics and the gameplay is fun. I bought Organ Trail for the PS4 and PS VITA and played through it. I can't think of a way to make this game more modern than updating the graphics but I think that the pixel graphics is what makes it special.

Oregon Trail NPB


The Oregon trail is a fun game that needs you to use strategy and luck to win. Crossing the rivers is not bad as long as you always caulk they wagon and float it across. It is a fun game but can get very frustrating if you do not have some luck on your side. They say it is hard to balance your food and that you need to change your rations so that your food will last. All you need to do is have bullets and a little bit of skill that you can only get by playing the game to get food by going hunting. In conclusion I find this game fun but hard but some difficulty is a great thing. It makes it a luck based skill game.

Listen up.  The Oregon trail is a classic game which has been played for decades and is still relevant in today's media.  The game was released in 1971 and was developed by Don Rawitsch.  The gamer's at that time marveled at the idea of Oregon Trail.  It quickly became a hit, and is one of those games that everybody knows.  When we played the game on Friday, I was surprised and kind of amazed of how fun the game was.  It was a true experience seeing how games were played nearly 50 years ago.  The game play was fun with friends and was extremely challenging.  The simplicity and difficulty of the game makes the player really want to play the game.  Every decision the play makes must be considered.  The seriousness of the game is

I did enjoy the game Oregon Trail because it was a game that's fun despite the graphics. Playing was like choosing your own adventure and their was no path you had to follow. The only real objectives to the game was keeping your crew alive, managing resources, and getting as far as possible before you die. It wasn't to difficult to follow and the controls were not complicated. I have played Oregon trail before but it was many many years ago. It was a cool experience to play a game that has been around for over 30 years. The game also gave a small bit of history to it when you're playing the game. Playing it was like having fun while also learning a bit of history as you go.
